[comp.windows.x] Character masking in a Athena Text Widget

JAlred.ElSegundo@XEROX.COM (11/03/89)

   I am writing an application which contains an asciiStringWidget into
which a user will type a password.  I there a simple way to mask the
characters being typed or pasted in with some other characters (*'s for
instance) so that the password will not be visible to the casual passer-by?
   In SunView, this is accomplished by specifying PANEL_MASK_CHAR, '*'.
   
   Thanks for any help,
